and the usual kicks from the losers. The
half miles wers run in the remarkable time
OF 40 seconds, and the ~two.year-olds did
the same distance in SO seconds. The
judges were Sam Scott, J.. B., Gaines and
William Humbert and they filed the trying
positions With dignity and discretion. All
the points involved in the protests were
talked over calmy and no impudence or
back talk from Jockeys a. permitted.
The match race between the horses of
Durand and Ayotte was Withdrawn, but
this did not much interfere with the events
Of the day as it would have crowded out
either the half mile heats or the dash, both
of which proved very exciting.

ten nominations. but only four starters rs

weight 1O4. Babb enters Oh. g. Bogus,
weight 100 and Hamilton enters b. 6.
Nappa, weight 1O4. In the pools as they
were first sold the betters did not seem to
care about investing much money and as a
result, for q while, the following was the
record: Daniel B. SO. Bogus 81, Susie s.
81 and Nappa 81. In a short time the
hackers of Daniel B. got q little more
courage and made him the choice for $50
with Susie 8. and Bogus $40 each and
Nappa 81. There were quite q number OF
pools sold. Tit horses got to the starting
point in good time, Nappa only acting
badly. In the choice of positions Daniel
B. had the pole, Bogus second, Susie s..

race, each working for q position for the

then Susie and Daniel showed up and the
three came into the turn together. Down,
there was a hot race between Daniel and
Bogus. but the former had the best OF it
